Linda Yollis started the Educational-Blogging wiki in November of 2009. 1. Briefly describe your group, your wiki, and what you use it to do:I created the Educational Blogging Wiki in 2009 as a resource for teachers who are interested in having a classroom blog. The wiki includes class videos explaining the benefits of blogging, how to compose a quality comment, and the importance of the Creative Commons license. I chronicle the steps I've taken to teach my students how to compose quality comments and have tips to help teachers develop their own online communities. Included are links to other educational bloggers and sample posts organized by subject matter. I hope that teachers will find the wiki helpful and will open up their classrooms through educational blogging. 2. Besides the Edit button, which wiki feature is your favorite?The widget button is a great feature. PowerPoints, calendars, videos, slide shows, maps, polls, and spreadsheets can easily be embedded in the wiki. Selecting a widget and pasting in the html code makes adding web 2.0 tools a snap!Keep reading.
